This was my second time staying at Kvosin downtown hotel and it was exceptional both times. Customer service at the front desk was top notch. They were so gracious and helpful with everything from lending us a power adapter to giving us a heads up on street closures, to helping me figure out how to use the induction cooktop in our kitchen. The room (really like an apartment) was spacious and immaculate. It felt like we were living like locals for the week. We were in close proximity to great restaurants, but we also had fun cooking dinner in our kitchen. Breakfast downstairs in the morning was delicious and had a good variety including vegan options. Kvosin is close to everything — it’s in the perfect location for tourists, with a beautiful view of the lake, and wonderful daily cleaning service. Parking nearby was easy. I cannot say enough good things about this place! We will definitely be staying again.

Keep coming back

This hotel is in a perfect location and walkable to the main street and most of the City. The front desk staff is friendly. The rooms are cozy and clean. We've stayed here twice: once with our kids and once as a couple. We love that they have rooms with living areas, small kitchens, and second bedrooms. The second bedroom and bathroom was extremely small, but standard for Iceland i guess.

What a great stay. Check in was very easy with help from the friendly staff. We were upgraded, which was a nice surprise. Our room was clean and spacious with access to a terrace. The breakfast was good. This hotel is in a great location to walk to anything you may need. I would absolutely book another stay.

Many restaurants and shops nearby, perfect location. Super friendly staff. Spacious room with kitchenette, great shower. Nothing bad to say except maybe some noise from church bell across the street (we were at the front and right across from it), but slept through it so no big issue. Highly recommend.

This was a great hotel. They had everything ready for our stat (crib, sofa bed). We enjoyed the area. The only problem were the stairs. Normally, it would be fine , but we had a toddler with a stroller. The area before entering our roo. Had a really bad smell. Other than thay it was great.
